My guess would be female G.nudifrons ... but that is an educated guess, as are most photo-IDs of Gymnosoma

Can they appear with spots on their abdomen? I saw some of them had that.

Males tend to have smaller black abdominal markings than females  Really you need to take lots before you can get a good idea of the species in your area ... males & females key differently so it can help if you have both.

Yes, clearly a female nudifrons, one of the few easy cases in Gymnosoma Theo |
